A fictional character who is hardly devout.
The essay is similar to calls by Catholics to engage the culture, specifically mass culture, when it increasingly seems like there is very little of it worth preserving, even stuff from the 80s. Do we have better American heroes to emulate? Different regions will have different answers...
